    Either works for me; some folks obviously prefer the expanded reference 
    version. Since the data for the RFCs themselves is static, I see no harm 
    in going with the expanded version.

    RFC 2026 refers to these as "subseries". Perhaps "bibxml-rfcsubseries"?

    Or that. There are few enough of them that a single directory is not 
    unreasonable, but overall I'd say "implementer's choice."

    Which does say, "The FYI numbers continue to provide reference points 
    for these documents, and the FYI number can be used in citations to 
    these documents", so it's probably reasonable to have the entries for 
    them.

Given the discussion, and the small number of files, I decided to put them all into http://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/public/rfc/bibxml-rfcsubseries as suggested. The documentation at https://xml2rfc.tools.ietf.org/ has been updated as well.

They are the expanded versions of the files -- no xi:includes involved.

All three subseries are included: BCP, FYI and STD. The then-current rfc-index.xml file is checked hourly to see if any changes are needed.

Hope they are found useful. If any further tweaks are needed, please raise them on rfc-interest.
